MGMA to Verma: Release MIPS eligibility notifications

As the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services drags its feet on issuing final policy decisions, a major physician advocacy group points out that practices have been flying blind for nearly an entire quarter on the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). In December, CMS promised a set of notifications to clinicians regarding the 2017 MIPS, but as of March those notifications have not come.

In a letter to Seema Verma, the current administrator of CMS, Anders M. Gilberg, senior vice president of Government Affairs for the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), cites “considerable frustration and confusion” among providers seeking information vital to their MIPS transition plans.
